So the women returned to the _Pa_, and told how they had seen Te Atarahi. “Are you quite sure it was Te Atarahi?” said the men of the _Pa_. And the women answered, “His appearance was like Te Atarahi, but the hair of his head was all gone, and his skin hung loose in folds about his back.” Then one was sent to look at the grave where Te Atarahi had been buried. He found the grave undisturbed, so he returned and said “Sirs, the body is well buried, it has not been disturbed.” Then the men went, and examined the place carefully on every side, and found an opening on one side, a little way off. Then they went to the place where Te Atarahi had been seen by the women, and there found the man seated on a _ti_ tree. They at once knew him to be Te Atarahi; so they sent for the _tohunga_. The _tohunga_, came and repeated a _karakia_, after which, the man was removed to the sacred place, and the _tohunga_ remained with him constantly repeating _karakia_, while the people of the _Pa_ stood without looking on. There the man remained many days, food being brought for him. Time passed, and he began to have again the appearance of a _Maori_ man. At length he recovered and got quite well. Then he told how he had been in the Reigna, how his relations came about him, and bid him not to touch the food, and sent him back to the land of Light. He spoke also of the excellence of the state in which the people of the Reigna dwelt, of their food, of their choice delicacy the _ngaro_, of the numbers of their _Pa_, and the multitude of the dwellers there, all which agreed with what the _Atua_ have said, when they visit men on earth. NGA PATUPAIAREHE OR FAIRIES. One day while Ruarangi was absent from his house a Patupaiarehe or Fairy came to it, and finding only the wife of Ruarangi within, carried her off to the hills. When the husband returned home his wife could not be found. He, however, traced footsteps to the hills where the Fairies dwelt, but saw nothing of his wife. Then he felt sure she had been carried off by the Fairies, and returned sorrowing and thinking of some plan to recover her. At length, having thought of a plan, he summoned the _tohunga_ of the tribe—those skilled in bringing back love—those skilled in _makutu_—in short all the _tohunga_. When these all assembled before him, he said to them “The cause of my calling you is this. My wife has disappeared.” The _tohunga_ replied “When it is night, all of you leave your houses.” So when night came every one came forth from his house as the _tohunga_ had ordered. Then the _tohunga_ skilled in restoring love stood up, and after some while discovered that the lost woman was with the Fairies. So he commenced a _karakia_ to make her love for her _Maori_ husband return.
